British Muslims Genocide e-mail trojan

Be careful.

One so labeled came through to my office e-mail. It supposedly has a video, but the video is named XXX.exe. The company's sniffers pounced on it as containing a nice little Trojan.

Do you recall what the sniffer ID'd it as?  I started seeing a swarm of trojans coming in to my workplace yesterday.  All caught by our AV software, but still damned annoying.

This is the sniffer report...

A couple of years ago on a different project we got a "Anna Kornikuova Pictures... HOT!" spam, one of those that took over people's inboxes and self-mailed itself. It was just new enough that the filtering system didn't catch it.

Several people who damned well should have known better (programmers and developers) apparently let their testicles do their thinking for them. Photos do NOT end in .VBS!

Within the span of about 30 seconds I had gotten nearly 100 iterations of the thing in my inbox, as did most people at the office.

Our e-mail server was down for two days because of them.
